  • Don't forget choosing transmission errors and telling the rest of the world they are saying the name of a metal wrong.

  • I feel like why not just print to pdf from your pdf viewer?

    Yea this was my takeaway. I think I'll only travel to times after insect megafauna go extinct.

  • Doesn't have to be update and shutdown, I will click shutdown and it just reboots. Even disabled fast startup, so it's not getting a wake event just as it's hibernating.

  • EFF Dice-Generated Passphrases | Electronic Frontier Foundation

    Jump

  • Eff has a better list imo. Diceware has a tonne of short abbreviations like "1st". Eff is words that are mostly 5 to 8 characters long. Much more xkcd like and easier to make a mnemonic out of.

  • It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.

    Jump

  • Because 48 bits over 32 bits does not really solve the problems with ip4. 128 bits basically gives one ip4 address space to each square meter of earth. Ip6 also drops all the unused and silly parts of ip4 too.

  • Your muscles ram up in strength over time. By pushing against your thumb, your finger muscle has built up the strength to push your finger at the higher speed needed.

  • Good evening I hate Windows. Yes, I have to do this.

    Jump

  • Since you added a question mark, commands is the correct general term. However there are two types that can be a command. Functions: which are written in pure powershell and cmdlets: which are commands provided by dotnet classes. (Also exes and a bunch of other stuff common to other shells can be a command, but that's not important.)

    The reason they have different names is early on functions didn't support some of the features available to cmdlets, such as pipeline input. There was later a way to add this support to functions.

    In practice call them any of the 3 and people will know that you mean.

  • She adds chapters, I think not so you can skip ahead, but so you know good places for pee breaks.

  • So...

    Jump

  • That's amazing someone did that, and now we know they were all worthless anyway so it was even more ridiculous.

  • Graphics rule

    Jump

  • It had really good reflections too, that intro with the wet brick castle was really impressive when it came out.

  • What happens if I never activate Windows?

    Jump

  • it limits the Windows updates you'll receive.

    I don't think it does now does it? For the longest time ms wants to make sure all machines are up to date to try and keep, "always getting viruses" moniker away. I think maybe xp did that?

    Microsoft to test “new features and more” for aging, stubbornly popular Windows 10

  • So no change whatsoever then? Ever since it released windows 10 patch testing has been "release to end user and see what the complaints are."

  • Shift F10 just opens the command prompt. After that it's the name of a batch file in the oobe folder. (Out of box experience.) You can tab complete the name so you just have to remember the oobe part. The biggest annoyance is if you buy a laptop that is in S mode, you can't start command prompt to do this.

    All it does is add a registry key, and reboot, but you would have to know how to do custom windows deployments to to create an image to skip it always.

  • The Paradox of Blackmarket Wired Bluetooth Apple Headphones

  • Yea, this is not cheap companies doing cheap things. This is companies getting annoyed by stupid licencing and restrictions, getting around the problem.

  • It's finally got to the point I can no longer open the image. The vertical size of the thumbnail makes it too hard to hit. Keep going.

  • Random black screens

    Jump

  • Everyone saying PSU, but I also had a similar issue and it turned out to be my GPU overheating (driver did an emergency shutdown of windows.) It was a fair few years old, but after a re-paste of the GPU thermal compound the issue went away. The reason I say is it's probably cheaper than a new PSU, so I would do it first.

  • Happy 30th birthday to RFC 1631 ("NAT"), the "short term solution" we all rely on

    Jump

  • It's been getting "more and more use" since 2001. To start with the isps said that they were not going to do any work to implement it until endpoints supported it. Then vista came with support by default. Next they wanted the backbones to support it. All tier 1 networks are now dual stack. Then they said they were not going to do anything until websites supported it widely. Now all cdns support it. Then they said, it's ok we will just do mass nat on everyone so won't do any work on it.

  • 3dfx Voodoo - the graphics card that revolutionized PC gaming

    Jump

  • HL supported software mode, it used the same render from quake for it. It was however very slow. For more modern CPUs it would be fine but for common CPUs at the time 15fps would be a good experience.

    3dfx was good but the cards started to struggle with the likes of HL and UT. Both were playable, but not super smooth.
